If you've made it this far you obviously want to know a bit about me. I can't box my style into one sentence, but at the core of it all I want to tell your story as it unfolds. You wouldn't believe how fast this day is going to pass and I want you to remember every one of those fleeting moments. The majority of my work is a documentary/photojournalistic style with fine art portraits interspersed throughout.

I am available for editorial and travel work and absolutely can't get enough of either. Past clients and features include The New York Times, Frommer's Travel Guides, Vogue Brazil, and National Geographic Traveler.

If my work speaks to you and you would like me to tell your story please shoot me an email and we'll see where it takes us.

Dia de Los Muertos | Patzcuaro

Two years ago I went to Patzcuaro for Dia de Los Muertos. I had a wedding in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero the weekend before so I took the five hour bus ride from Zihua to meet Regina in Morelia, Michoacan and we drove to Patzcuaro the next day. We started out late, as usual, but we realized it had all been for a reason when we came upon the perigrinacion (procesion) by the charros from Morelia to Patzcuaro. This procesion happens in every town for every big celebration and the fact that we started out at the exact time they did gave us a little insight into what we were in store for.

The first day was spent wandering through the town with me taking photos and Regina laughing about how everyone really does speak to me in English even when I’m walking around with Mexicans. She didn’t believe me. We got homemade ice cream and ate some of the best tacos I have ever had. We went to a bakery where they were making pan de muertos (bread of the dead), my favorite, and got some fresh out of the oven. We talked to everyone we could and then took a nap to prepare for the night where we would sleep on the island of Janitzio. Little did we know just how incredible that night would be.

These are the photos from that first day. You can see the Holga photos I took here and tomorrow will be the photos of Janitzio. They deserve their own post entirely and I feel it’s only fitting that I post each day on the prospective date that they were taken two years ago.
